About this home

If space, sunlight, storage, and location are on your wish list, this home delivers. Offering approximately 2,200 sq ft of heated, cooled living space across two floors, plus a finished bonus room in the basement, this sun-filled home lives generously. A huge living room opens to the formal dining room that flows through a convenient pantry to the kitchen with gas cooking and space for a bistro table. A separate hall from the dining room leads to 2 bedrooms (1 used as an office) and full bath on this floor. Just off the kitchen, step onto your private rear deck or access your private rear hallway leading to the 1st flr rear exit and a private bonus room in the basement. Upstairs, the expansive top floor features two huge large bedrooms, 2 generous walk-in closets, a dedicated laundry room, and a spacious full bath with double sinks, separate shower, and Jacuzzi tub (jets not working). Storage is exceptional, beginning with separate coat and shoe closets at the entry and continuing with a pantry, 2nd flr linen closet, bedroom closets, and two large walk-ins on the top floor and built-in cabinetry in the laundry room. Newly installed mini-splits provide 2 zones of heating & central A/C, supplementing the existing 2-zone hot-water baseboard heating. The left side of the driveway (2-3 tandem spots) is exclusive to this condo, and the yard is shared. Tucked on a quiet side street just off Broadway, the location puts East Arlington favorites close at hand: half a block to Alewife Brook Parkway’s Stop & Shop (2m to Whole Foods) and just 2 blocks to the Capitol Theatre, restaurants, post office & neighborhood conveniences. Arlington Center’s cafés, dining and shopping are just 1 mile away. Thompson Elementary is just 4 blocks away, with Gibbs 6th grade approximately .9 mile away. Set within a two-unit, pet-friendly association with submeters for water/sewer billing, this is a wonderfully spacious and inviting home with the room, storage, and location to make everyday living easy. Owners do not pay condo fees; instead they pay bills out of pocket and approach work the same way. Open Houses SUN Oct 4 from 11-12:30.
